Table 3: Z values and contextual Z values for Burkholderia mallei strain China
7, which is most closely matched to B. mallei ATCC 23744. Scores against other
Burkholderia are shown for context. While the Z value of 3.06 is high, we show
that this is due to far greater population structure (“biological noise”) in B. mallei
samples as compared to the Bgcalibrant sample, as well as consensus SNPs.
